David Veltum

The first time I ever saw David Veltum ride a scooter was at the skate park I grew up riding at in Westerville, Ohio. He had been riding for about a week and was already doing a lot of tricks. I ended up I growing up riding with David.

“David is the most naturally talented person I have ever seen ride a scooter”

We pushed each other to the farthest point that we could, making each of us learn new tricks often. David is the most naturally talented person I have ever seen ride a scooter. He has always drifted in and out of riding, not really committing to doing much with it. I tried my hardest to get him exposure but it never seemed to work out. Last year, when he was extremely motivated to go ride, we went to Chicago every weekend.

Either that or the guys from Chicago would come to Columbus and ride. This footage was filmed in a span of only three weekends. I made this video to show how gnarly David is. I didn’t want him to go unnoticed whether he still rides or not. David, if you see this get back on your scooter and do more of this stuff because people are going to care after they see this video.
